At about 4 p.m., two Slidell police officers attempted to serve a warrant on Carolyn Hinkle, 79, at her home on Sunset Drive, according to the Slidell police news release.

When officers arrived, police said Hinkle pointed a gun at them and made comments about not going to jail and that she would shoot anyone who entered her house.

Earlier, at 10 a.m., police said she called the Slidell City Jail and asked about getting a handgun back that was taken from her after her arrest two years ago on an aggravated assault charge.

According to police, Hinkle called the Slidell Police Corrections Department and demanded that her gun be returned. When the correctional officer told her that he couldn't help her, she made a statement about shooting the judge that presided over her trial and found her guilty.

The Slidell Police Department's SWAT team was at Hinkle's house with a negotiator, trying to talk her into coming out of the house.

The standoff ended after about an hour, when Hinkle exited her home and was taken into custody.

Officers said a loaded Smith and Wesson .38-caliber handgun was found inside the home.

Hinkle was transported to a hospital for evaluation. Once released, she will be arrested on charges related to the outstanding warrant and allegedly pointing the gun at the officers.
